Automatic Access Upgrade for Cumbrian Business Park

9 May 2023
Case study

Offering an inspirational business environment, Westlakes Science Park, West Cumbria, is home to over 2,000 professionals working from a selection of high-quality buildings. As part of a recent refurbishment to Kelton House and Galemire Court, TORMAX worked with Evolve Conservatories and WM Services Ltd to replace the existing manual door to the main entrance with a highly functional, automatic sliding door system.

Providing reliable and continuously smooth operation, the single door leaf is powered by the TORMAX iMotion 2202 operator - one of the most advanced motors on the market today. Featuring unique AC motor technology and state-of-the-art microprocessor control, door movement is permanently monitored, making automatic adjustments as necessary to maximise performance.

Westlakes Science Park is owned and operated by BEC, one of Cumbria’s leading property managers and developers, as well as being a profit-for-purpose company that is committed to positive change. Located near Whitehaven and the Sellafield Nuclear site, Westlakes offers a unique working environment with flexible office space, well-appointment meeting rooms, on-site catering options, as well as stunning views overlooking the fells.

“Delivering clear and open access for everyone, the Westlakes entrance is also certified for rescue and escape routes,” confirms Simon Roberts, MD for TORMAX. “Since completing this installation, we are delighted to have been specified to install a further automatic entrance at the Park.”

The TORMAX UK range of automatic and manual entrance systems can be found installed in a wide range of facilities including commercial offices, education and healthcare facilities, retail outlets as wells hotels and leisure centres, hospitality and leisure amenities.

Developed in-house at the TORMAX headquarters in Switzerland, all iMotion operators deliver unparalleled life expectancy thanks to the motors having none of the parts that generally wear out, such as gears and brushes, ensuring ongoing performance well into the future.
